How can I delete photos uploaded by Dropbox?

[MoniqueYates]

Dropbox uploaded 26,000 photos from my phone. How do I delete them without deleting all my other drop box items I want to keep ? Have now adjusted the settings. Drop box is full

Hi @MoniqueYates, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Were these photos uploaded automatically via the camera upload feature, or did you manually upload the images?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay,
The photos uploaded automatically.
I’ve gone into settings to change the automatic settings.
The 26,000 photos are still sitting there clogging up the usage space.

The photos downloaded on their own when I accessed via the mobile APP

Thanks, so you were using the camera upload feature.

This means that the images would be located in the Camera Uploads folder, which can be accessed via the mobile app, desktop folder, or the site itself. 

You can delete the folders from there in order to free up space on your account.
